These are fat sources more than protein. An egg has 6 g of protein but everything else in this list is a fat source.

Chickpeas are fat (rather than good protein source)?
Really?? Have i been doing it all wrong?

No, that poster doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Avocados are good fat, but nuts and chickpeas have protein.

I buy enough TJs salads with grilled chicken to have for lunch every day. I add cucumbers, carrots (addicted to the TJs multi-colored ones), snap peas, hb egg, low fat cottage cheese, cherry tomatoes, hearts of palm and garbanzos. Easy and delicious. I usually use just a tiny bit of the dressing and add apple cider vinegar.

Easy lunch for the lazy (me).
